[the corner of Oswald's mouth quirks slightly]
You've been watching that park for several hours every day for two weeks. Has there been anything interesting today?

The park?
[He blinks, looking back. Oh. Yes, the park that's there. He's barely even noticed it, despite looking at it all this time. Honestly, it just sort of blurred together into green shapes.]
...Not that I've noticed.

Oh? That's a shame. I'd hoped, after all this time, there would be something exciting.
Are you watching for something specific?

It is a nice table in a moderately nice cafe, I'll grant you that. What do you like about it?

I don't know what. I just like it.
[. . .]
It's very...
[don't say normal. even he knows that'd give the wrong impression.]
...I don't know. Peaceful, maybe.
[he kind of knows that's wrong, too, but...]

Peaceful.
[....what. It's peaceful now, but during the rushes, notsomuch.
This sure is a conversation]
...may I sit?

Thank you.
[he'll sit, then.]
It sounds like you're kept fairly busy outside these walls, if it's peaceful here.

...Something like that, maybe.
[Oh, you know. Things to burn. Apocalypses to plan.]
Maybe peaceful isn't the word? I don't know how to put it.

[Oswald's head tilts a bit, curious]
It can be calming, at the right time.
[he turns his head to glance out at the park, briefly]
Have you seen the botanical gardens in the park? They're quite stunning.

[Oswald's eyes widen slightly]
Ah--alright.
[he's pushing to his feet, glancing over at Ivy]
Ah, Ivy, if you don't mind, we're going to--
"Yep, I've gotcha covered, go ahead!"
[she looks utterly delighted, her own eyes a bit wide in surprise. But Oswald will turn his attention back to the young man]
Shall we?

[He sets his coffee cup down. Still steaming, of course, despite him ordering it a while ago. And he'll stand, then.]
Alright.
...Please, lead the way.

[He'd pay more attention to that, if he wasn't so ecstatic about actually kind of succeeding in asking him out maybe???]
Right this way.
[he'll...head out of the coffee shop, holding the door for him on the way of course]

[He makes sure to walk carefully. Not brushing past anyone. Hands in his pockets, to be safe. Just, following Oswald.
...Blinking a little as he holds the door open, but going through.]

No.

Not necessarily. I was just wondering.
Do you have a favorite flower or plant that you like?

A favorite...?
[...definitely not. He just burns flowers.]
...I like Canna lilies, I guess.

Not all plants, truthfully, but I do have a distinct fondness for lilies.
